Tiddlywinks Nursery Group proudly opened its fifth setting in the heart of the Ancoats/Beswick community, offering exceptional early years care and education for children aged four months up to school age. Their aim is simple: to give every child the very best start in life.
At Tiddlywinks Ancoats, they believe that children thrive when parents and practitioners work in true partnership. Together, they create a rich, rewarding, and stimulating experience filled with fun, laughter, and meaningful learning opportunities.
Their nursery ethos focuses on providing a happy, secure, and nurturing environment where every child can grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. With three spacious outdoor areas, an enhanced provision throughout the setting, and opportunities for real-world exploration, children are encouraged to investigate, discover, and learn through child-led play.
They offer a wide range of exciting activities designed to ignite curiosity, build independence, and allow children to take safe, calculated risks as they develop confidence in their own abilities. Every child’s unique interests are celebrated and used to shape their learning journey.
Tiddlywinks Ancoats also proudly provides free childcare places for eligible two and three year olds through early years education funding, helping families access high-quality childcare all year round.

I'm so happy I found Tiddlywinks Day Nursery Ancoats. My son took a while to settle into the new routine but the staff were always patient with him and did everything they could to make him comfortable and happy. Now he's so excited to come to nursery. And he's always talking about the nursery workers at home. He loves them and he loves going every day. It's clear all the staff genuinely care about him and I leave him here knowing he's in great hands. I'd recommend this nursery to all.
I find the staff very friendly and interested in my child's development. They provide tips for carrying on learning at home and provide regular updates on my child's progress. I highly recommend them and will be sorry when my child has to say goodbye when he leaves to start school.

Tiddlywinks nursery is brilliant, the staff are excellent, the nursery is clean, my two boys love it and always enjoy coming here. I am very proud of Tiddlywinks Nursery as I think it's the best nursery around and I am glad my boys come here, as I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else.

My daughter started here a year and a half ago and all the staff I have ever come across have been friendly, caring and supportive. They all want the best for the children in their care and this is reassuring. Management have an open door policy and make sure they are seen and available.

I work in child protection and have high expectations from anyone caring for my child and these expectations are met by all the wonderful staff. Thanks

My daughter loves being with all the other children and she also feels really comfortable around the staff. They are all very welcoming and made us feel so relaxed leaving her there as we can see how happy she is and how much fun she has.
Thank you Tiddlywinks staff for looking after our little girl! Would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.
Friendly staff, create a warm and create a great environment for my daughter. Genuinely seem to care about her and her development.

My 2 and 3/4-year-old daughter loves coming here and has been coming since she was 11 months old. The nursery has always been supportive and really helped. She struggled to settle in initially. She talks to me on the way home about her friend at nursery and what she's been doing during the day. The staff are wonderful and her key worker is great at sharing with us what she's done in the day. I feel that the staff really work with the parents to do the best for the kids. I strongly recommend Tiddlywinks.
The nursery has never failed to meet my expectations. Looking after young children is never easy but all the staff make it look easy.

My daughter really enjoys coming to the nursery and loves all the staff that work with her. There are always things going on at the nursery for the children to be involved with and the other children that come seem to love it just as much as my daughter.

I would highly recommend this nursery. The nursery team was very helpful in making my little boy settle in so fast. My little boy enjoys the nursery very much that when he sees his picture on nursery website he gets excited! Also, the food is tasty and hygienic, that he loves finishing it every day. His language development and other skills have been significantly improved as we talk our native language in our home, I can see the development. The environment is lovely as well, with a fish tank and other pictures which he loves to touch while arriving and leaving the nursery. Finally, I'm simply amused by seeing most of the nursery staff recognising the names of each child at the nursery!!

My daughter started at Tiddlywinks Ancoats May 2015. I was extremely nervous and worried about her going to nursery as I had never needed to use one with my other 3 children. The staff were amazing and my little girl loves going to nursery everyday and has thrived during her time there. I couldn't have chosen a better place for her to be cared and nurtured whilst I am at work. The staff are always bright and bubbly not just with the children but with us parents too. Its always clean and fresh, even when the children are messy playing. A wonderful nursery and amazing staff. Almost like extended family.
The staff at Tiddlywinks Day Nursery have been excellent with my son from day one. He settled very quickly with them, clearly because they are all so friendly and welcoming. They all include me in everything he does and the regular parent gatherings allow even more input. The setting is brilliant...
The staff at Tiddlywinks Day Nursery have been excellent with my son from day one. He settled very quickly with them, clearly because they are all so friendly and welcoming. They all include me in everything he does and the regular parent gatherings allow even more input. The setting is brilliant both inside and out, the play facilities are excellent and the site is very secure. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Very nice and well trained staff. I never had a complaint or concern about anything. I am just happy and thankful that I have people that I trust and who can help me looking after my boy. He is happy to come here every morning.

With over 16 years of experience in early years education, I have had the privilege of working with children across all age ranges, from our youngest babies to confident preschoolers preparing for school. My passion for childcare has grown stronger each year, and I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality learning environment for every child. Supporting children through each stage of their development—and working closely with their families—has always been at the heart of my practice, and I am committed to ensuring every child thrives, feels valued, and leaves our setting with confidence and joy.
